For proper installation, please kindly refer to the instruction manuals of your CPU Cooler.

2.4 Installation of Memory Modules

This mainboard provides four 240-pin DDRII (Double Data Rate) DIMM slots, and supports Dual Channel Memory Technology. For dual channel configuration, you always need to install two identical (the same brand, speed, size and chip-type) memory modules in the DDRII DIMM slots to activate Dual Channel Memory Technology. Otherwise, it will operate at single channel mode.

Static electricity can damage the electronic components of the computer or optional boards. Before starting these procedures, ensure that you are discharged of static electricity by touching a grounded metal object briefly.

To install system memory:

1.Power off the computer and unplug the AC power cord before installing or removing memory modules.

2.Locate the DIMM slot on the board.

3.Hold two edges of the DIMM module carefully, keep away from touching its connectors.

4.Align the notch key on the module with the rib on the slot.

5.Firmly press the module into the slots until the ejector tabs at both sides of the slot automatically snap into the mounting notch. Do not force the DIMM module in with extra force as the DIMM module only fits in one direction.

6.To remove the DIMM modules, push the two ejector tabs on the slot outward simultaneously, and then pull out the DIMM module.
